Into the Woods we go. . .


This past weekend Brady and I were able to spend some time with some of my family. On Friday we went to see Ky and Shelby's babies (SO cute!) and then went to dinner with Laurel & Brady and Steph & Ty. After dinner, Brady and I drove down to Salt Lake to meet my parents and little sister, Karlee. As soon as we got there we went for a little swim. Then we ate frosties from Wendys and then went to bed. I got up bright and early so that I could take my test for my license (see post below). I passed so it was a great start to the day. Anyways, then everyone met up with me and we went to IKEA. If you have never been there, you need to go. That place is amazing. It is HUGE! My mom was crying the first time she went there because she didn't know how to get out of the place! (My mom cries a lot so this wasn't weird for her to do.) (There are arrows on the floor to follow out, but she still was lost. Ha ha.) Anyways, it was neat to finally go there and experience that. I had been looking at some chairs there and wanted to check them out! Brady didn't really like them so I am going to get some off Ebay. After IKEA, we headed to Gardner Village. It was some kind of kid day there because there was a million people there and like three million kids! It was crazy. So, we didn't stay there very long. I did get a Halloween decoration there. After we left there we got some lunch at Hires. They have the best rootbeer! Then we headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon to the temple granite quarry. It was SO neat! It was so beautiful and so amazing to see where they got the temple stone from. It made us all realize how amazing those people were. It was SO far away from the temple but somehow they managed to get these extremely heavy stones down the mountain to the temple. I can't even imagine the labor it took. It makes me feel SO grateful to live in the times I do. So, after we left there we headed to a theater in SLC (I think it was the Hale Centre Theater). We went to the play "Into the Woods". It was a cute little play. The playhouse was a little weird but it was fun to be there and hear the songs and everything. After that we headed home and just hung out for the rest of the weekend. Thanks mom and dad and Karlee for a fun weekend! We love you guys!

I completely know how your mom feels. The first time I went to Ikea I left our group and took a few turns and got lost. I had to call my husband to come find me. It is a huge store.
